I think there is a little bug in emerge.
"emerge --searchdesc mta" shows net-mail/mailbase as "[ Not Installed ]"
"emerge --searchdesc mailbase" show it's installed version correct.


mb1 root # emerge --version
Portage 2.0.27

mb1 root # emerge --searchdesc mta

Tried some combinations with oder packages. Looks like the mismatch happens only
in the above situation.
